alright.. about this nonnie/secretor diet i will give it a try...i will go with the secretor diet and specially the foods are to be avoided for nonnies.. i hope i notice the differences...but it might not be quit healthy..& since i work most hours a day it affects my efficiency at work ...

Sooo.. maybe its just better to get a lewis blood test after all... tnx

Yes it can if you had bleeding gums. That would always test out secretor. Unless your sample was mishandled or incorrectly marked I would take the test results as being valid.

I've been doing reading online here and came across this post because I've been wondering if a secretor test can fail. I took Dr. D'Adamo's secretor test and we sent it in to them. It came back Non Secretor. However my gums WERE bleeding when I was spitting. It's a sensitivity thing that I've had for years, from brushing teeth to eating. My gums don't hurt and I've never been diagnosed with gum disease, so its a "way of life". But I was bleeding during my collection and I still came back as a non secretor. I wonder if that means I really AM a strong non secretor?

Mine said non-secreter but I am indeed a secreter. It may have been because of the hot weather.

I found out it was wrong based on the lewis antigen test.

I respond much better to the secreter foods.

Soy is likely to be good for a non-secreter teacher but I doubt to have as dramatic of an effect as it does for a secreter. However the ability to process a serving of lamb weekly really sets the two apart as well as a few vegetables.

My saliva secretor test came back as a secretor but I'm highly suspicious of the results. I've been test book nonnie the majority of my life IMO. I'm anxiously waiting to have the Lewis antigen to confirm my suspicions.

How could you have antigens secreted into your saliva if none were secreted? I would think you might question a determination of non-sectretor as something might have happened to destroy the antigen but it couldn't be there unless you secreted it, right? Am I missing something, not a biochemist here

I JUST got my secretor status results (YAY!). I'm a non-secretor. Very glad to know, but I was hoping secretor. Would the fact that I'm taking antibiotics affect the test results? Should have asked before! [I just called to inquire and was told no, antibiotics would not affect the test, btw - relieved!]
